Description
Rhine Cottage is a two-storey building constructed of stone and pebbledashed at the front, topped with a slate roof. Each former cottage features a single bay, with a boarded door located on the side. The ground floor includes a single 16-pane sash window, while the first floor is lit by a 12-pane single sash window positioned directly under the eaves. The openings are adorned with smooth rendered architraves that have cambered heads and eared sills. A rubble stone stack is located at the center, which was formerly on the party wall. The cottage is adjacent to the barn of Tynewydd, which is set forward on the left.
